B2B.ID Partnerships vs Marketplaces
Transaction-oriented supplier matching.
Marketplaces
Genuinely good at
- Fast to buy a defined deliverable
- Price comparison
- Escrow and transactional safety
Less suited to partnerships because
- Built for a purchase, not a relationship
- Both sides are buyer and seller, never partners
- Nothing compounds after the transaction
B2B.ID Partnerships
B2B.ID is built for ongoing business relationships with multiple ways to create value together — referrals, delivery, distribution, campaigns and shared opportunities.
- Ten partnership models, not one
- Business context and declared partnership intent
- Explains why two businesses might fit
- Structured Partnership Requests instead of cold outreach
- Relationship, pipeline and outcomes in one place
What discovery looks like
